Dancing Elephant |
|
Patterned Pig |
I started out the month on a "safe" note. The gelli prints were SO complex I was hesitant to use them. My first two pieces, "Dancing Elephant" and "Pattern Pig", reflect that hesitation.
In the next series, I found my groove and figured out how to use the prints. In the "Experiment", bubble wrap print became the background of a witch brewing a potion.

Green Man |
A doily print was used for the background in "Inspiration".
Black and
gray swirls became thunderclouds in "Storm Clouds".
"Green Man" emerged
from a green layered gelli print and "The Painter"'s canvas (below) was a gelli
print.
I think I'm going to have to stick to simpler patterns and
textures to keep the prints from becoming the most important thing in
the illustrations.

In "The Pioneers" I made an effort to use some of my patterned files. It was very time consuming and I'm not thrilled with the result.

"Three Long Haired Sheep" was created with a gelli print as their fleece. "I used a gelli print for the background in "Dancing". I like the style of dancing. In the final two images I'm focusing on digital painting an area that I know I need to work on.

Drawing |
I saw the work of an illustrator who interprets photos of children in an illustrated style. I think I'm going to try a few next month. This was actually based on the following photo. My intent was not to COPY but to reinterpret in my own style.
